    Boris will put UK into Depression.

    The effects around the world, including the US, is simply unknown at this point.
    Russian trolls and their supporters go on Ignore, automatically: no second chance.

    Yeah-- but the UK won't have to accept any of those refugees massing in France after being bombed out of their own countries. That's worth a Depression , eh ?

    "The economy had shown 0.5% growth in the first quarter after manufacturers' stockpiling ahead of Brexit [March 29, remember?] helped to boost output, when the manufacturing sector recorded its biggest quarter rise since the 1980s.

    Now it's fallen 0.2%! OMG, launch the lifeboats!

    Well- the Pound Sterling is now worth 1 Euro. Brexit hasn't happened yet but ordinary Brits have lost billions in the value of their currency.

    Boris in Blunderland. Haw, haw..................................haw.

    This is the payoff they got for buying into right-wing nationalism. Bannon and his Russian pals were successful in Brexit and the US election. I hope we learned our lesson.

    Ferguson shipyard nationalised by Scottish government

    The Ferguson shipyard in Port Glasgow has been nationalised by the Scottish government.

    Ministers will now operate the yard under a management agreement with administrators, which will see the Scottish government buy the facility if no private buyer is found within four weeks.

    The English Conservatives would rather sell off their people's assets to foreigners . Scotland needs its independence.

    Scotland has come close. Trump, Bannon, and Boris might push them over the edge. Time for another independence vote.
